Sure signs of Fall

How do we know it's Fall?  The once-a-week 80* weather doesn't really give it away but these do:

• sleeping to the sound of a coughing baby on the monitor
• freezing in the morning, hot in the afternoon, freezing at night
• it's dark much earlier and even though the time hasn't changed, the bedtime has.  Shhh.  Don't tell them.
• pumpkin patch with the kids!
• pumpkin bread at Starbucks, William's favorite
• the top shelf of the fridge has 2 bottles of syurpy antibiotics on it, to be take twice daily by the little people here who are sick.
• flu shots, which apparently work really well.  Not.
• neat crafty school projects that come home and are seasonally festive
• the backyard is littered with little leaves from all the birch trees and it's beautiful
• sweaters, rugby shirts, and sneakers
• beginning to use the line, "Santa is listening and watching ALL the time now." 

How do you really know it's Fall in your house?
